We offer the following tours:

20th century. Objects of modern life

The museum's new permanent exhibition "The 20th Century. Objects for Modern Life" showcases handicrafts, industrial art and industrial design from the late 19th century to the present day. These are objects that have brought new form into the homes of modern people in the 20th century. 

Does time have a form? We will look at how the things we have surrounded ourselves with over the last hundred years have changed form and use as society's forms of production and ways of life have changed.

Objects for life

In this permanent collection we find peasant furniture and objects. This culture is seen as the bearer of "the Norwegian" and tradition. We have read values, myths and history from the culture of the peasant community.

Glow and shine

In the exhibition "Mica and Benefit", we find interiors from the home of the big bourgeoisie in the 18th and 19th centuries. This is related to European fashions in fleeting and continuous change. Of bourgeois imports we read perishability, vanity and abundance.

Nøstetangenrommet

The Nøstetangen room shows glass art from the 18th century with the Bacchus trophy engraved by HG Köhler as the highlight. Here is also a large collection of the rare Drammens faience, in addition to magnificent pieces of silver mugs and pewter.

Temporary exhibitions

The museum has temporary exhibitions in both the Lychepaviljongen and the Arbobygningen. Check our website to see which exhibitions are current during the period you are planning a visit here.

Hallingtunet

Hallingtunet is a constructed farmyard from Hallingdal. It consists of five buildings. We offer a tour where we tell about the functions of the houses and a little about how people lived in the old farming community.

Everyday horse and holiday horse

Open to the public all summer.

Villandstallen at Hallingtunet is a traditional combination of stable and barn with cool on the second floor. It was built in Hol in 1720. 200 years later, the building was taken down and rebuilt on Marienlyst, where it stands today. This permanent exhibition about the farmer's horse was completed for the stable's 300th anniversary in 2020. The exhibition shows the horse in its two functions: On the ground floor as a work horse, on the second floor as a holiday horse.

Cyclical time at Hallingtunet

Open to the public all summer.

The attic at Drammens Museum once stood on the farm Rue in Hol in Hallingdal. It is nicely patched and the interior is decorated with both woodcut and rose paint. In the attic we have made a small exhibition about the cyclical time. One part of the exhibition is based on the prim rods. The second part of the exhibition illustrates the life cycle with photographs of the family on Rue.
